Currently, I am interested in an approach that integrates the achievements of various areas of psychotherapy, based on the humanistic trend. I understand my role as supporting the person in recognizing and overcoming obstacles standing in the way of a good and healthy life. This happens through open and accepting dialogue, which promotes deeper self-knowledge, dealing with painful traces of the past and moving beyond old, unconstructive patterns of experience. The turning point of psychotherapy and couples therapy is the liberating sense of responsibility and influence on one's own life, as well as a friendly attitude towards oneself and others.
